MEMORANDUM
TO: FILE – PACIFICORP ENERGY – Lake Side Power Plant
THROUGH: Harold Burge, Major Source Compliance Section Manager
FROM: Jeremiah R. Marsigli, Environmental Scientist
DATE: January 24, 2024
SUBJECT: FULL COMPLIANCE EVALUTION, Major, Utah County,
FRS #UT0000004904900241
INSPECTION DATE: January 11, 2024
MAILING ADDRESS: 1825 North Pioneer Lane, Vineyard, Utah County
SOURCE LOCATION: 1825 North Pioneer Lane, Vineyard, Utah County
SOURCE CONTACT(S): Veronica Reyes, Environmental Manager, 801-796-1916
OPERATING STATUS: Block 1 – operating
Block 2 – operating
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
PacifiCorp operates a 500 MW block and a 629 MW block at a power plant in Vineyard, Utah. Each
block consists of two combined cycle combustion turbines (CT) and one steam turbine.
The plant operates as follows: The turbine generators operate on pipeline quality natural gas delivered to
the site from existing pipelines. The exhaust from each CT is routed to a heat recovery steam generator
(HRSG) to generate steam for the steam turbine generator. There is one HRSG for each CT. The steam
from the two HRSG are combined and sent to the steam turbine generator. An additional 50 MW may be
produced during peak load by utilizing duct firing and steam injection power augmentation. This project
will interconnect with the PacifiCorp transmission grid.
Emissions from the CT exhaust are controlled prior to entry into the steam turbine as follows: Each CT
has a selective catalytic reduction system (ammonia injection) in the HRSG to control NOx emissions and
an oxidation catalyst for control of CO and VOC emissions. In addition, dry low NOx combustors are
used in the CT. PM is controlled by using pipeline quality natural gas. CEMs are installed to analyze NOx
and CO concentrations and percentage of oxygen in the exhaust.
The dew point heater treats incoming natural gas to keep entrained liquid from condensing. This heater
operates on natural gas. An auxiliary boiler is used to provide seal steam to the steam turbine and
maintain optimal temperatures during the HRSG downtimes. It also allows for a quick startup of the
CT/HRSG. Lastly, there is an emergency generator and diesel fired fire pump.

specified below:
(a) Each NOx and diluent CEMS must be installed and certified according to Performance
Specification 2 (PS 2) and PS 3 (for diluent) in Appendix B of 40 CFR 60, except the 7-day
calibration drift is based on unit operating days, not calendar days. Procedure 1 in Appendix F of
40 CFR 60 is not required. Alternatively, a NOx diluent CEMS that is installed and certified
according to Appendix A of 40 CFR 75 shall be acceptable for use. The relative accuracy test
audit (RATA) of the CEMS shall be performed in accordance with 40 CFR 60.334(b)(1).

complete a minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling, analyzing, and data recording) for each
15-minute quadrant of the hour, to validate the hour. For partial unit operating hours, at least one
valid data point must be obtained for each quadrant of the hour in which the unit operates. For
16
unit operating hours in which required quality assurance and maintenance activities are
performed on the CEMS, a minimum of two valid data points (one in each of two quadrants) are
required to validate the hour. (c) For purposes of identifying excess emissions, CEMS data must
be reduced to hourly averages as specified in 40 CFR 60.13(h).
(i) For each unit operating hour in which a valid hourly average, as described in paragraph (b) of
this section, is obtained for both NOx and diluent, the data acquisition and handling system must
calculate and record the hourly NOx emissions in the units of the applicable NOx emission
standard under this permit, i.e., percent NOx by volume, dry basis, corrected to 15 percent O2 and
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard conditions. For any hour in which
the hourly average O2 concentration exceeds 19.0 percent O2, a diluent cap value of 19.0 percent
O2 may be used in the emission calculations.
(ii) A worst case ISO correction factor may be calculated and applied using historical ambient
data. For the purpose of this calculation, substitute the maximum humidity of ambient air (Ho),
minimum ambient temperature (Ta), and minimum combustor inlet absolute pressure (Po) into
the ISO correction equation.
(iii) If the permittee has installed a NOx CEMS to meet the requirements of 40 CFR 75, and is
continuing to meet the ongoing requirements of 40 CFR 75, the CEMS may be used to meet the
requirements of this section, except that the missing data substitution methodology provided for
at 40 CFR 75, Subpart D, is not required for purposes of identifying excess emissions. Instead,
periods of missing CEMS data are to be reported as monitor downtime in the excess emissions

60.7(c), periods of excess emissions and monitor downtime that shall be reported are defined as
follows:
(1) Excess emissions shall be any unit operating period in which the 3-hour block average NOx
concentration exceeds the applicable emission standard in this condition. A "3-hour block
average NOx emission rate'' is the arithmetic average of the valid hourly NOx emission rate in
units of the applicable NOx emission standard of this permit condition measured by the CEMS
during fixed 3-hour blocks beginning at midnight. The permittee shall calculate the block average
if a valid NOx emission rate is obtained for at least 2 of the 3 hours.
(2) An hour of excess emission during short-term excursions shall be any unit operating period in
17
which average NOx concentration exceeds applicable emission standards in this permit condition.
For partial unit operating hours during short-term excursions, at least one valid data point must be
obtained with each monitor for each quadrant of hour in which the unit operates. The data
obtained during the partial unit operating hours shall be used to calculate the average emissions.

(b) The permittee shall submit reports of excess emissions and monitor downtime, in accordance
with 40 CFR 60.7(c). Excess emissions shall be reported for all periods of unit operation,
including startup, shutdown and malfunction. For the purpose of reports required under 40 CFR
60.7(c), periods of excess emissions and monitor downtime that shall be reported are defined as
follows:
(1) An hour of excess emissions under steady state operation shall be any unit operating period in
which the 3-hour block average NOx concentration exceeds applicable emission standard in this
permit condition. A "3-hour block average NOx emission rate'' is the arithmetic average of the
valid NOx emission rate in ppm measured by the CEMS for each operating hour during fixed 3-
hour blocks beginning at midnight. The permittee shall calculate the 3-hour block average if a
valid NOx emission rate is obtained for at least 2 of the 3 hours.
(2) An hour of excess emission during short-term excursions, startup or shutdown shall be any
unit operating period in which hourly average NOx concentration exceeds applicable emission
standards in this permit condition. For partial unit operating hours during short-term excursions,
startup, or shutdown, at least one valid data point must be obtained with each monitor for each
quadrant of hour in which the unit operates. The data obtained during the partial unit operating
hours shall be used to calculate the average emissions.
(3) A period of monitor downtime shall be any unit operating hour in which the data for any of
the following parameters are either missing or invalid: NOx concentration, CO2 or O2
concentration, fuel flow rate, or megawatts.
(4) For operating periods during which multiple emissions standards apply, the applicable
standard is the average of the applicable standards during each hour. For hours with multiple
emissions standards, the applicable limit for that hour is determined based on the condition that
corresponded to the more stringent standard. (5) All reports of excess emissions and monitor
downtime shall be postmarked by the 30th day following the end of each calendar quarter.
(c) The quarterly reports required in R307-170-9 and 40 CFR 75 Subpart G are considered
prompt notification of permit deviations required in Provision I.S.2.c of this permit if all
information required by Provision I.S.2.c is included in the report.
Status: Not evaluated. CEM requirements are evaluated by DAQ’s CEM specialist.
II.B.6.b Condition:

(b) As specified in 40 CFR 60.13(e)(2), during each full unit operating hours, both the NOx
monitor and the diluent monitor must complete a minimum of one cycle of operation (sampling,
analyzing, and data recording) for each 15-minute quadrant of the hour. For partial unit operating
hours, at least one valid data point must be obtained with each monitor for each quadrant of the
hour in which the unit operates. For unit operating hours in which required quality assurance and
maintenance activities are performed on the CEMS, a minimum of two valid data points (one in
each of two quadrants) are required for each monitor to validate the NOx emission rate for the
hour.
(c) Each fuel flowmeter shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, fuel flowmeters that meet the installation, certification,
and quality assurance requirements of Appendix D of 40 CFR 75 shall be acceptable for use.
(d) Each watt meter, steam flow meter, and each pressure or temperature measurement device
shall be installed, calibrated, maintained, and operated according to manufacturer's instructions.
(e) The permittee shall develop and keep on-site a quality assurance (QA) plan for all of the
continuous monitoring equipment described in paragraphs above. For the CEMS and fuel flow
meters, the permittee may satisfy the requirements of this paragraph by implementing the QA
program and plan described in Section 1 of Appendix B to 40 CFR Part 75.
(f) For purposes of identifying excess emissions, CEMS data must be reduced to hourly averages
as specified in 40 CFR 60.13(h).
(i) For each unit operating hour in which a valid hourly average, as described in paragraph (b) of
this section, is obtained for both NOx and diluent, the data acquisition and handling system must
calculate and record the hourly NOx emission rate in units of the applicable NOx emission
standard of this permit condition, using the appropriate equation from Method 19 in Appendix A
of 40 CFR 60. For any hour in which the hourly average O2 concentration exceeds 19.0 percent
O2, a diluent cap value of 19.0 percent O2 or 1.0 percent CO2 (as applicable) may be used in the
emission calculation.
(ii) If the permittee has installed a NOx CEMS to meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 75, only
quality assured data from CEMS should be used to identify excess emissions. Periods where the
missing data substitution procedures in Subpart D of 40 CFR 75 are applied shall be reported as
monitor downtime in the excess emissions and monitoring performance report required under 40
CFR 60.7(c).
(iii) All required fuel flow rate, temperature, pressure, and megawatt data shall be reduced to
hourly averages. The calculated hourly average emission rates shall be used to assess excess
emissions on a 30-day rolling average basis. [40 CFR 60 Subpart KKKK]

average NOx concentration exceeds applicable NSPS emission standard of 15 ppm (15% O2) or
0.43 lb/MWh as required in 40 CFR 60.4350(h). A "30-day rolling average NOx emission rate'' is
the arithmetic average of all hourly NOx emission data in ppm or lb/MWh measured by the
CEMS for a given day and the 29-unit operating days average NOx emission rates immediately
preceding that unit operating day. A new 30-day average is calculated each unit operating day as
the average of all hourly NOx emissions rates for the preceding 30-unit operating days if a valid
NOx emission rate is obtained for at least 75 percent of all operating hours. [40 CFR 60.4350(h)]
(2) A period of monitor downtime shall be any unit operating hour in which the data for any of
the following parameters are either missing or invalid: NOx concentration, CO2 or O2
concentration, fuel flow rate, or megawatts.
